Case Conceptualization with the PIDIB Model: A Flexible Approach to Therapy

In this final section of module three, Dr. Andy Brown introduces Dr. Mike Dube, who presents the PIDIB model for case conceptualization. This model is designed to be adaptable to various therapeutic theories and focuses on key clinical issues such as safety, control, responsibility, self-esteem, and reality testing. Dr. Dube emphasizes the importance of understanding these issues from the client's perspective, without relying on DSM diagnoses. The session also covers the utility of the model in dynamic narrative exposure therapy, and how it can help therapists of all experience levels effectively engage with traumatized clients.
